Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for enhancing the cornering performance of a vehicle, in particular an automobile, equipped with a stability control system.
- ESC Electronic Stability Control
- the ESC system is designed to intervene in the event of sharp swerving and/or over- or understeering conditions caused by the driver mishandling the vehicle when cornering, to prevent the vehicle from skidding.
- the control architecture of the ESC system is substantially based on a number of mathematical models representing the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle in different handling conditions by means of vehicle parameters and motion equations.
- the dynamic cornering behaviour of the vehicle in over- or understeering conditions is defined by a mathematical model substantially characterized by vehicle parameters related to the "mechanical structure", e.g. geometry and mass distribution, of the vehicle.
- control architecture of the above stability control system does not allow the driver, in stable vehicle conditions, to enhance the cornering performance of the vehicle as desired to achieve a response, e.g. racing performance mode, other than that provided for by the stability control system.
- the above stability control system does not allow the driver to enhance vehicle performance, e.g. to achieve faster braking of the wheels in response to driver control.
- a vehicle control system as defined in Claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the Claims depending directly or indirectly on Claim 1.
- Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a vehicle, in particular an automobile, comprising four supporting wheels 2; a brake assembly 3 in turn comprising brake calipers (not shown), each activatable selectively to brake a corresponding wheel 2 of vehicle 1; and a vehicle control system 4 which controls brake assembly 3 to coordinate braking of wheels 2 by the brake calipers of brake assembly 3.
- Brake assembly 3 is a known device and, not being the object of the present invention, is not described in detail.
- Vehicle control system 4 comprises a stability control system 7 configured to intervene, when skidding, by adjusting output of the engine and/or differentially regulating a parameter controlling the braking force on vehicle wheels 2, to automatically right vehicle 1.
- stability control system 7 preferably, though not necessarily, comprises an ESC (Electronic Stability Control) system, in turn comprising a regulating block 8 for controlling distribution of the braking forces on the vehicle wheels; and a processing block 9 for processing dynamic vehicle behaviour.
- ESC Electronic Stability Control
- regulating block 8 receives a number of known vehicle parameters, such as wheel speed, steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, etc,; and a braking force regulating parameter differential or gradient, in particular a pressure gradient ⁇ P, which, as explained in detail below, is related to the braking force to be applied to the brake calipers of brake assembly 3 when controlling braking of wheels 2.
- vehicle parameters such as wheel speed, steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, etc.
- a braking force regulating parameter differential or gradient in particular a pressure gradient ⁇ P, which, as explained in detail below, is related to the braking force to be applied to the brake calipers of brake assembly 3 when controlling braking of wheels 2.
- regulating block 8 is configured to process the vehicle parameters and pressure gradient ⁇ P to determine the parameters regulating the braking force, in particular the brake pressure Pi, associated with braking the rear wheel of vehicle 1 on the inside of the curve travelled by vehicle 1. Processing by regulating block 8 is known and not described in detail, except to state that is corresponds to the processing implemented by an ESC system.
- Dynamic vehicle behaviour processing block 9 receives the brake pressure Pi associated with braking the rear wheel of vehicle 1, as well as the other brake pressures Pi, and supplies the measured yaw rate ⁇ of vehicle 1.
- Vehicle control system 4 also comprises a vehicle handling enhancement system 10 designed to cooperate with stability control system 7 to allow the driver to "modify" the dynamic behaviour of vehicle 1 when cornering.
- Vehicle handling enhancement system 10 is configured to calculate a reference yaw rate ⁇ REF as a function of the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle when accelerating round a bend, and calculates the gradient of a braking force-related control parameter, in particular the pressure gradient ⁇ P to be supplied to stability control system 7, on the basis of the difference between reference yaw rate ⁇ REF and the actual yaw rate ⁇ .
- vehicle handling enhancement system 10 is configured to regulate pressure gradient ⁇ P to zero the difference between reference yaw rate ⁇ REF and actual yaw rate ⁇ .
- vehicle handling enhancement system 10 substantially comprises : an observer block 11; an open-loop control block 12; a reference generating block 13; and a main controller 14.
- observer block 11 is configured to determine cornering acceleration of vehicle 1.
- observer block 11 receives the longitudinal velocity v 1 of the vehicle, the steer angle ⁇ of the front wheels of the vehicle, and the operating speed ⁇ of the vehicle accelerator pedal, and processes the received parameters to determine cornering acceleration of vehicle 1 and accordingly generate a trigger command CT.
- Open-loop control block 12 is configured to generate a parameter gradient related to the braking action to be exerted on the wheels, and in particular a pressure gradient ⁇ P 1 related to the brake pressure to be applied to the brake calipers of brake assembly 3.
- Reference generating block 13 is configured to calculate a reference yaw rate ⁇ REF as a function of the dynamic behaviour of vehicle 1 when accelerating round a bend.
- reference generating block 13 receives the longitudinal velocity v 1 and steer angle ⁇ of vehicle 1, and processes them by means of a predetermined mathematical model to supply reference yaw rate ⁇ REF .
- Main controller 14 receives trigger command CT, actual yaw rate ⁇ and reference yaw rate ⁇ REF , and generates, on receiving trigger command CT and as a function of the difference between actual yaw rate ⁇ and reference yaw rate ⁇ REF , a pressure gradient ⁇ P 2 related to the brake pressure to be applied to the brake calipers of brake assembly 3.
- main controller 14 may preferably, though not necessarily, comprise a proportional-integral-derivative PID module configured to regulate pressure gradient ⁇ P 2 to zero the difference between actual yaw rate ⁇ and reference yaw rate ⁇ REF .
- observer block 11 serves to determine cornering acceleration of vehicle 1, and to accordingly generate trigger command CT to activate main controller 14 and open-loop control block 12.
- observer block 11 comprises a state machine, which switches between two states : an OFF state when cornering acceleration of vehicle 1 does not occur, and an ON state when cornering acceleration of vehicle 1 does occur.
- observer block 11 is configured to determine cornering acceleration of the vehicle when the following three conditions occur simultaneously : steer angle ⁇ exceeds a predetermined steer threshold S ⁇ ; the operating speed ⁇ of the vehicle accelerator pedal (not shown) exceeds a predetermined pedal operating speed threshold S ⁇ ; and longitudinal vehicle velocity v 1 exceeds a predetermined velocity threshold Sv 1 .
- steer angle ⁇ exceeds a predetermined steer threshold S ⁇
- the operating speed ⁇ of the vehicle accelerator pedal (not shown) exceeds a predetermined pedal operating speed threshold S ⁇
- longitudinal vehicle velocity v 1 exceeds a predetermined velocity threshold Sv 1 .
- Observer block 11 is also configured to determine no cornering acceleration of vehicle 1, when at least one of the following three conditions occurs : steer angle ⁇ is below predetermined steer threshold S ⁇ ; the operating speed ⁇ of the vehicle accelerator pedal (not shown) is below predetermined threshold S ⁇ ; longitudinal vehicle velocity v 1 is below predetermined threshold Sv 1 .
- steer angle ⁇ is below predetermined steer threshold S ⁇
- the operating speed ⁇ of the vehicle accelerator pedal (not shown) is below predetermined threshold S ⁇
- longitudinal vehicle velocity v 1 is below predetermined threshold Sv 1 .
- the state machine of observer block 11 is configured to switch from OFF to ON when the following three conditions occur simultaneously:
- observer block 11 determines cornering acceleration of vehicle 1, and generates trigger command CT.
- Observer block 11 is also configured to switch from ON to OFF when at least one of the following conditions occurs :
- the dynamic behaviour model represented by equation a) is based on two assumptions; firstly, that the vehicle is accelerating round a bend; and secondly, that the vehicle is stable with no roll.
- equation c) for ay in equation b) gives equation a) defining the mathematical model employed by reference generating block 13.
- reference generating block 13 is only activated upon observer block 11 determining cornering acceleration, and since the ideal yaw rate does not exactly match the actual yaw rate prior to acceleration, using reference yaw rate ⁇ REF as a set point for main controller 14 may result in discontinuity of the latter, which is perceptible by the driver during control ( Figure 4 ).
- reference generating block 13 may be configured to implement an equation corresponding to a Taylor series of equation a), so as to linearize the reference yaw rate curve about the onset of acceleration (dash line in Figure 4 ).
- vehicle handling enhancement system 10 provides for generating a continuous yaw rate reference by which to describe the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle in stable conditions. What in fact defines the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle is not the absolute yaw rate value, but the way in which the reference yaw rate is calculated alongside changes in acceleration and steer angle.
- the driver Since the reference yaw rate depends on the steer angle, the driver is therefore able to participate in control of the vehicle by the stability control system and so alter the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle. More specifically, if the driver steers the vehicle at a constant rate, the reference generating block does not interfere with control by stability control system 7.
- the vehicle control system described Besides being cheap to implement, by employing the stability control system already on the vehicle, the vehicle control system described also has the advantage of allowing the driver to enhance vehicle performance to a greater degree with respect to known vehicle control systems.
- the vehicle control system may be variously adjusted, so the driver can choose the setting best suited to given driving conditions, and so obtain different performance levels of the same vehicle, depending on the chosen setting.
